I'm thinking about just getting my own authority too. How hard was it to get on the all the boards, listed with FedEx and Panther? I've getting my own loads with Charles and he was getting his 18% for me using his board access and factoring and paying me. Unfortunitly he no longer thought...

I have two small straight trucks on with DeMaris. I'd like to hear for current or former drivers to see if they are having a hard time getting paid for the loads they pulled. Today I had to hire an attorney to file a lawsuit against DeMaris because they owe me aprox. $9,000. If anyone...

I live in Arizona, There is work out here. I don't it's much different than back east. A lot of loads going from Phoenix to SF, LA, SD, SLC, ALB, up up the coast. Also things come out of Phoenix going to Dallas and Dalls back to Phoenix. Seems like 95% of the expediters live back in the...

Hi Charles, being a new owner on with your company everything I see so far is great. I've been in trucking for over 35 years so I'll give you my thoughts. The first and most important thing is a company that REALLY WORKS to keep my trucks rolling at a decent rate. Good communication between...

I've been in trucking for over 35 years. You have to love it when some guys sitting in a $8,000 van think they know it all. Factoring has always been a part of this business. For a small to a medimum size operation, to pay a small percentage for non recourse factoring is a no brainer. What...

Hey Chet, I put a driver in the van and is working out so good I just bought another, 2003 E450 diesel. Truck has been running about 3,000 miles a week at over $1.00 a mile for all miles. Driver has been netting after fuel about .34 per mile. Fuel costs are about .36 per mile. Leaving me...

I have no desire to upset the little deal I have going. I believe my contract says the minimum I will be paid is $1.19 a loaded mile, most loads are well over the minimum and I have at times taken cheaper van loads to get out of an area. Most times these 12 foot loads are onlya pallet or two...

I have a 2003 E350 High Cube Van. It's leased on to a small broker who works all the boards. While it's usually a day or two set between loads he comes up some good ones. We haul loads for all the big companies, FedEx, Panther, Express 1, ect. I have a 14 foot box with about 2 feet taken up...

Chet, My comments were not a personal attack. If it came across that way, then I am truely sorry, in was not my intention. This being a Newbies Forum, I will say this, what is working for you, is mostly likely not the right thing for 99% of the readers of this forum.

Chet, I know you personally but you may want to read VERY SLOWLY the things you wrote. You sound a bit crazy. Me personally, I want to be paid fairly for the work I put in. I like $1.25 - 1.30 per mile. I'm glad you're so happy, but running that hard, all the time WILL catch up with...

I'm about to put a driver in my vehicle and would like to have a good driver contract in place. My lawyer understands the need but he has no clue on what needs to be in it. I was hoping I could look a some that others are using to make sure I'm not over looking an item. If anyone is willing...

Wrong you have no burden of proof. They must prove you logs are wrong. A DOT audit is something else. In an office enviroment the DOT can ask a carrier for supporting documents, toll receipts, fuel purchases, ect. Anything you give them voluntary can and will be used against you. Give them...

Very Simply, additional insured does nothing but make the insurance company NOTIFY all additional insureds if they CANCEL your policy. If I have your property or any body elses cargo on my truck it is insured. The insurance is protecting me from damage claims from whoever they may be from. If...

For what it's worth. It was a waste of my time dealing with this company. After over a month of talking with them (average time to talk someone to talk to was about 5 days) because all I could get was voice mail. Filling out all their paperwork and then resending it because they deleted or...

You want a simple answer. I have a lease with each carrier. Each carrier is listed as an additional insured on my policy. Sounds like most of you don't have a clue on trucking. If you have your own authority and you end up using 150 brokers over the year, you will have 150 companies listed...

All the big companies are like this. I was leased to FedEx CC a few years back. We had a load out of LA going to NYC. FedEx routes you. Well they routed us on I40. Problem was I40 was closed in Flag and with the storm moving east NM was going to get hammered. We choose to run I10/I20/...

I sent you a PM. You aren't the only one feeling like a fool.

Who the HECK cares. I'm so tired of hearing all this Holly Roller crap. I believe in what I belive in, you have all the right to believe in what do CHOOSE to believe. Why is it they go to go over board and and put stuff on their trucks, or their emails or try to talk to you about how they are...

They seem to be dragging their feet sending out a lease. Hopefully they are just real busy. Anyone know any other companies putting on cube vans. I'd like to have a back up.

Thanks for all the positive imput. I'll let you know how I do.
